N4LQ has been a licensed ham since 1964, I would dare say he already knew
the answer to this goofy question and was just looking for some funny

Say a beam has 5db forward gain and a front to back difference of 20db.
Where does the extra 15db go? I mean, if you loose 20db off the back on
transmit, I assume you also loose that much on receive. What happened to

the
20db? Did it burn up as heat? What am I missing here?
